Thank you for your response,

It is getting really hard for me to parse and build pandoc using pandoc 
types, as I am Haskell beginner.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but the only way to see the JSON output is 
by trying out pandoc? I mean for covering all the pandoc-types, I will have 
to put everything in a document then parse using pandoc?
And then figure out by looking at output how actually all types are stored 
in JSON?

It would be really helpful if there can be another way around it!
